In the Name of Desire

by LaRose Parris

Color Life: The Lesbian, Gay, Twospirit + Bisexual People of Color Magazine, May Spring 1992, v. 1, no. 1, p. 27

This review of the all-female, audio-video, group installation - Those Fluttering Objects of Desire - discusses the artists' choices to bring erotica out of "the dark vestibules of porno palaces" and into public, "acceptable" art galleries. All of the works in the exhibit were meant to reclaim female erotica as a medium for sociopolitical issues and self-exploration.
